Other customers at the car wash intervened Sunday night after the woman revved her engine until the car caught fire, according to KHOU-TV. The woman fled with her children into a nearby bayou, abandoning her 13-year-old and 11-year-old daughters in the process.

As she dragged her 9-year-old daughter into the bayou, she tripped and fell, police told the television station. A Harris County constable caught up with her, and she was arrested at the scene.

All three of the children were unhurt.

The woman, identified as 31-year-old Ana Segovia, faces three counts of aggravated assault of a family member and will undergo a mental health evaluation.
